Question

The mayor of a town places a map of the town on a coordinate grid with Town Hall at the point (0,0) and with each unit representing a mile. Sarah's house is at the point (5,2) and Malia's house is at the point (3,-2). How far apart do Sarah and Malia live?

Answer 1

Answer:

4.47 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To be able to find distance between Sarah and Malia's house, we need to use the distance formula between the two points.

$d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2} - y_{1})^{2} }$

We have now define the points of both Sarah and Malia's house.

Sarah's House = (5, 2)

Milia's House = (3, -2)

We then substitute the values in the distance formula with the points given.

$d=\sqrt{(5-3)^{2}+(2 --2)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{(2)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

$d=\sqrt{4+16}$

$d=\sqrt{20}$

d = 4.47 miles
